It's a clean fuel source. Wind energy doesn't pollute the air like power plants. Power plants rely on combustion of fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas.

Factories is a counter-example against climate change and the is a old factorie that is on Canborough road in Smithville. As a result of the pollution that is created from toxic and dangerous materials into our environment, not only does the planet’s ecosystem come under threat, but our own health is potentially at risk too. Factories might not be the sole contributor to the man-made damage that continues to be done to the planet but they are certainly one of the biggest. Despite the efforts of governments the world over to reduce the amount of pollution that these factories pump into the atmosphere, there is still so much that has to change if we value our planet.

Litter is very bad for the environment and when it comes to climate change because. Humans, animals and plants all need unpolluted water to survive. Litter can also clog storm-water drains and cause flooding. Food scraps and other organic items that are disposed of improperly can increase algal blooms in water, which reduces the amount of available oxygen for other aquatic life, such as fish.

# data[].attributes.body
Factories highly pollute the earth. The production of what's being made. is a cause. This pollutes the earth because the fossil fuels and machines that are being used to create a product are creating air pollution which will escape into our atmosphere damaging the cleanliness of the air. To help try not to emit much pollution yourself so while the factories are damaging the earth you will be helping the earth which would counteract the pollution from the factories making the earth a cleaner place.

Litter is not good for the environment because if garbage ends up in the oceans than this will affect sea life. Marine life could choke on it or get sick from the chemicals coming from the litter. So if we have garbage put it in a garbage can or a  recycling bin so it doesn't pollute our water ways. If you see litter do the us and the earth a favor by putting it in a garbage or recycling bin.

Turning off your lights when your leave a room is a simple and easy way to help save our environment. Leaving your lights on when not needed uses a lot of electricity. Less demand for electricity also means less demand for harvesting our fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are becoming more and more scarce and will start to become even more expensive. 90% of the electricity lights use is heat and only 10% is light. So a lot of the electricity in lights is adding in our global warming issues. So it is very important to turn off our lights when we leave a room or do not need them on. Photo taken at my home.

Leaving things plugged in when they are not being used uses up a lot of unnecessary energy. Not only that but it is a safety risk.

Gas stations allow people to continue to fill up with gas. They also have diesel, which many trucks run on. This gas station isn't being as considerate as they could be. Having natural gas available would allow trucks to use that (We watched a video on trucks that run on natural gas). Natural gas is not the answer to the solution, but it is a step in the right direction. The transportation industry in Ontario creates 34% of the province's GHG emissions. Natural gas can reduce the amount of GHG emissions by 30% or more. (Information from the video watched in class). Natural gas trucks are not as common as diesel fueled trucks, so the gas company has diesel. The problem is, that if they keep having diesel the trucks will keep using diesel.
